Dear Collegues,
Am interested in modelling malaria fever to better control and prevent if not eradicate it especially in developing country/sub-Sarahan region Any pointers/literature in this regard?

Thank you
Mike B.

Mike,
See: James Ritchie Dunham and Jorge Mendez Galvan, ""Evalating Epidemic Intervention Policies with Systems Thinking: A Case Study of Dengue Fever in Mexico, System Dynamics Review, 15(2), Summer 1999.

Also, pp. 300-323 on modeling disease epidemics, in Sterman's Business Dynamics book.

Please see http://www.uneval.org/docs/John%20Newman.doc
The paper describes a system dynamics approach taken to evaluate malaria-control programs in Bolivia.

Best of luck!
